For the IPhone it would be great to get push notifications if there is an alert in the area. Surprisingly, in Chicago the weather can change out of no where so when im in a meeting or somewhere without windows it would be helpful if my phone would tell me something is about to happen. With the 2011 blizzard no one, in my building, knew it was supposed to get so bad until it was too late.

While the idea of push notifications is wonderful, why can't we have two selected for alerts? Some people commute to work and school and it would be nice to receive severe weather alerts for both places.

The NOAA application has this feature and can be customized. The alarm is the same sound as a weather radio alert. As a first responder to disasters like Joplin I highly recommend this feature for saftey

Some form of severe weather mobile alert wouldn't just be great, it can save lives. Imagine my surprise when I first installed this app on my iPhone, and realized that the Weather Channel offers push notification for pollen alerts, but that's it. So I guess it's important to know if my allergies are going to flair up today, but not about tornados or flash floods.
Severe weather alerts/alarms/notifications wouldn't just be nice, it will save lives.

Automatic alarm feature during severe weather would be a great addition. It would be like having a NOAA weather radio with you all the time, Great for boating and for sleeping during severe weather outbreaks. Has this modification been added?

This would be an excellent notification, especially for those of us who are traveling / driving! If you could add an alarm alert for the locations in which we are traveling that are having the severe weather, it could keep us from becoming unintentional tornado chasers!!!
